Some builders in the machine tool industry have been known to say, “Iron is iron.” Don’t believe them for a minute. Anyone who invests thousands of dollars in machinery that’s supposed to keep his business running had better believe he is buying more than just another bland piece of equipment. There truly are major differences, even in basic hardware, among the different machine tool brands.Hurco has designed the frame structure of its latest lines of machining and turning centers from the ground up with Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The benefits of this engineering effort? Machine rigidity, longevity and reliability. Hurco has one of the highest resale values in the industry. The spindle is the heart of the machine and the focal point of machine performance and part finish. They are so important, Hurco's engineers design them specifically for Hurco machines. They aren’t pulled from a catalog and plugged into a Hurco. The spindles are meticulously and intentionally created for only a Hurco machine.Everything on a Hurco is intended to make life easier for the machinist. Hurco’s swing-arm tool changers, for example, typically have more pockets than other brands. And they all feature “random tool positioning” so tool changing is faster.
These may seem like little things, but Hurco customers have learned that little things make their lives much easier.
